I did my first oil change with Honda 5W-20 oil at 5K. Then starting at 10K, I do an oil change with Mobil 1 5W-20 every 5K, mostly because I live in a desert climate. If my temps were more normalized, I would stick with oil changes every 7,500 miles, as per the "timer" on the odometer. I don't know about the '06 and '07 HAH, but the '05 HAH doesn't have a Maintenance Minder, just a timer clock that flashes maintenance due at 6,000 miles and then comes on steadily at 7,500 to let you know it's time to change the oil, IIRC. However, if I had the Maintenance Minder, like I do on my Odyssey, I'd use that to tell me when to change my oil. From everything I've seen, the Maintenance Minder is a pretty good determinant as to the useful life of the oil.
